Dubuque Iowa's swing bridge

Mr Hemphill, I am very well aware of the new HWY 20 bridge being constructed as being a local resident of the tri-state area. <br />The former East Cabin interlocking cabin will be removed in the wake of the construction of this new highway bridge. (Darn trucking and auto intrests.) <br />But to add a little more to the speculation of this bridge, the bridge piers are starting to erode away where they were driven into the sediment of the riverbed. The bridge shifted considerably the winter before the CWR and walkway installiations. I think it was spring 2002. Add to it the goal of the city of Dubuque wanting rid of the trackage that occupies valuable land that they would like to see part of the America's River project, this might be an incentive for the State of Iowa, the City of Dubuque, and the US DOT to shell out money for new construction for the removal of a public eyesore. <br />I doubt this will happen but there has been preliminary engineering work done on the part of the city of Dubuque and the state of Iowa, as to where a new bridge could be constructed.
